TARDIS on the sub

What caused the TARDIS to dematerialize off of the sub?69.125.134.86^{talk to me} 00:12, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Something called HADS. Basically, the TARDIS detected Skaldak's attack on the sub and it materialised to safety on its own. -- Tybort (talk page) 00:21, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I should have waited to post this until the end of the episode. Thanks. 69.125.134.86^{talk to me} 01:04, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

2.3 Expansion

Okay, here is my question. I know what class of submarine this was. It was a Soviet 667BDR Kaľmar (Squid). The NATO reporting name (and what is generally considered an appropriate translation to English) was Delta III.

I can show many legitimate websites with pictures as my source, and recommend reading, but it was never mentioned in the show.

So, though we know that was a Delta III sub, and we know what rifles they were using and what sidearms, is it cannon? Can I go and edit it to say she was a Delta III class boomer or am I breaking the rules? Mobious 1 ☎ 05:16, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

I tried reading this page, http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/Tardis:Canon_policy

And it just made me MORE confused, it claims there is no cannon.

In terms of what is added to articles, canon only really applies to whether a story is "in-universe" or "non-DWU". As for what is seen on screen but not mentioned by name, I agree, it is a little tricky. On one page I've added that Grisenko has a walkman, even though it isn't specifically called a walkman, but one of my deciding factors was that there was already a Walkman page. I wouldn't see an problem adding it to the episode page, as it is already a "real world" article, but I'd specifically add that it isn't mentioned by name in the episode, and make sure you give sources.

Hope that helps. Geek Mythology ☎ 10:22, April 14, 2013 (UTC)
